Hello,
A few days ago Ioana (my daughter) spotted a rock - a white rhiolite matrix that included an agate. She asked me to cab it for her.
I was surprised that she saw the potential of that rock, as it was pretty ugly with that white rhiolite almost everywhere. So I cabbed it for her today.
It was a sort of self-designing cab, because I didn't start from a slab I'm so sorry now I didn't think to picture that rock before cutting it
It resulted a very high domed cab, about 14 mm max height. Its length is 40 mm. I was afraid to make it thinner, for not loosing that banded pattern in the center.
So, here it is:
backlight;
it also has some tiny metallic inclusions:
a couple of pics for shine:
Thank you for looking,
Adrian

. She's still young, going to 14. She's also kinda scared when she sees how near must the fingers stay from the rotating wheels.
